Regia: Quentin Tarantino
Cast: John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman
Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece returns to the big screen at Giunti Odeon, in a new 4K restored version, 30 years after its theatrical release. After the great success of the first screenings, the film returns in a new special screening on Monday 9 December (9 pm) to dance again with John Travolta and Uma Thurman to the notes of You Never Can Tell by Chuck Berry and relive the adventures of characters that have indelibly entered the collective imagination: from the gangsters Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson), the perturbing boss's wife Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman), the boxer Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis), the unforgettable ‘fixer’ Mr. Winston Wolf (Harvey Keitel), the thieves Ringo ‘Pumpkin’ and Yolanda ‘Bunny’ (Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer), and then Captain Koons (Christopher Walken), Buddy Holly (Steve Buscemi) and Quentin Tarantino himself... A stellar cast for a title that made cinema history in the 1990s. One of the most quoted and beloved films of all time, a mix of action, violence and humour never seen before, a planetary success that with its revolutionary style and original language consecrated Tarantino as a film star after his resounding debut with Reservoir Dogs.

Astronomer's Suite is a project that has been evolving for more than seven years. It is based on five movements in which the astronomer introduces the audience to the different concepts of astrophysical research, where music and images invite the spectator to travel through mental spaces without certain points of reference. The astronomical images that are shown are different from those that are normally used to illustrate a new discovery. Instead, you will see the same essential images that the astronomer uses for his research, on which his gaze gets lost and finds itself again and again. They are enigmatic images, which precede the discovery, the manifestation of something unexpected.
The music of the piano will follow the astronomer's eye, to orient itself in an as yet unexplored space, without marked roads. The processes of musical composition are shown through passages of analysis and synthesis, in a laborious exploration of places of which there are no maps, as is the case in scientific research. The tension towards the new is what art and science have in common, and it characterises our human being in a unique and profound way. Astronomer's Suite wants to be a dialogue, a journey to the roots of the common language of knowledge, to rediscover the unity of scientific and humanistic thought.

Il Caffè Odeon di Firenze nasce da un incontro e da un sogno. L’incontro è quello con la casa editrice Giunti e col progetto sulla nuova vita da dare allo storico cinema Odeon di Firenze, come centro culturale polifunzionale. Il sogno era quello di poter avere uno spazio, aperto tutto il giorno come i grandi caffè mitteleuropei, in cui proporre piatti provenienti da diverse tradizioni gastronomiche, insieme ad una pasticceria altrettanto ricca e ad una caffetteria di grande qualità, senza trascurare bevande analcoliche sofisticate, vini e cocktail.Assaporare un cibo, bere un caffè fumante o sorseggiare un buon vino sono cose che hanno molto in comune con il leggere un libro o guardare un film: si tratta sempre di usare i nostri sensi per vivere delle storie, che ci riguardino direttamente o ci portino in altri mondi, ed è proprio questo che ha fatto sì che l’incontro permettesse al nostro sogno di avverarsi.
